Why did you remove call to super.onCreateView() ?

Curious why did you remove call to return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState); ? when do you decide to remove or call super ?

In 'onCreateView' we need to return the View we'd like to use for our Fragment. If we returned 'super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);' we wouldn't be setting our View and we wouldn't see anything. Instead we inflate our View from a resource, and then we're able to return it.
